You can also adjust the belt tension for both the X and Y axis with the built in tensioning knobs. There should be no play and none of the wheels should be able to rotate individually.

You can tighten the bed, Z-axes and print head rollers with a fraction of a turn of their eccentric nuts, using the supplied spanner. It’s worth checking at this stage that nothing is loose.

#Cube pro 3d printer review manual#
If you prefer following a manual, the SD card contains the full user manual and you can see the illustrations more clearly. I think the manual would be hard to follow if this is your first 3D printer. It’s easier to follow the video included on the SD card that guides you through the assembly process. Next connect the cables to the LCD screen and the second Z axis motor.Īnd finally attach the cables to the X axis motor and limit switch and plug in the 24 pin connector into the print head. Now you can attach all the cabling starting with the first Z axis motor, expansion interface for the LED light and the filament detector.

Then you install the screen on the right side of the printer with 3 M4 bolts, snap on the spool holder and plug in the cable to the filament runout sensor which is already attached. The bolts are in individual bags which are clearly labelled with their sizes which is a nice touch. The printer comes well packaged and requires basic assembly.įirst you need to attach the print head to the top gantry assembly with the 4 M3 bolts and then install the gantry into the base, securing it in place from underneath the printer with 4 M5 bolts. If you’re new to 3D printing I’d highly recommend watching at least some of my earlier video that introduces 3D printing with the budget Creality Ender 3. I’ll test all its claims, printing a range of models in a variety of materials to try and help you decide if this printer is right for you. As well as your standard PLA and PETG it can print engineering grade materials like Nylon and Polycarbonate and it comes with many features that make it easy to use including a spring steel removable print surface, an all metal direct drive extruder, automatic bed levelling, a touch screen and it even has a handy LED lamp built in. The Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro should be the most capable printer I’ve looked at so far.
